Part of detaching is separating and driving different cars. And how do you know she isn't sleeping well? Something you shouldn't be knowing about or talking about imo. Just the kids.
Yeah.
On the drive back, we kind of talked about how we can't seem to get away from each other. She said people tell her not to call me, and not to answer when I call, create distance, all that, and she can't do it. Her therapist tells her that, and she says she rolls her eyes. And when I create distance, she freaks out.
She also said that it's some solace to her that I'm going to move into the house with the boys, because she imagines that will make me happy, and it'll make the boys happy, even if it means she has to live in an apartment.
The meeting was more or less low-drama today. We finished the agreement.
I feel less stressed out now I guess.
I don't know Karen - you've seen the pattern. With the custody arrangement we're talking about, we're basically going to see each other almost every day. And it's pretty clear we're both having trouble detaching. It's the same old thing.
So, I guess I'm looking at a lifetime bizarro relationship with my STBX, or I do something different.
So, at any rate, with these meetings over, I can put my mind to other things.
